Use bellow update scripts

require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app('default');

class Attribute

    public function index()    
    {    

        $installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
        $installer->startSetup(); 
        $installer->updateAttribute('catalog_product','name', array(''),null,2); //entity Type Id, Attribute id or Attribute code, field, value = null, sortOrder = null)
        $installer->endSetup();
    }
